Distance: 6.9 kilometers (4.28 miles)
Time: 33.52 minutes
Surface: asphalt/concrete
Weather Conditions: cool, misty, overcast, 60s, morning run
Location: Miraflores, Lima, Peru
Comments: Just a straightforward effort down the Malencon and back. After taking yesterday off I just wanted a good solid short run to get ready for the long run tomorrow.
No problems, except for the idiot Peruvian drivers and pedestrians. I'm not asking for the whole road or sidewalk, I just want you to be consistent enough in your forward progress that I can make a reasonable guess where you are going to be when I pass you by.
No pains. No issues. I did focus on trying to take shorter strides in order to be nice to my knees before the hills they will have to get me over tomorrow.

Training Run
Distance: 12.2 kilometers (7.57 miles)Time: 65.40 minutes
Surface: asphalt/concrete
Weather Conditions: cool, misty, overcast, 60s, morning run
Location: Miraflores, Lima, Peru
Comments: I felt pretty good going out - strong and with enough in the tank to put in a slightly-longer-than-usual effort. But my legs were noticeably sore the whole way.
Took a slightly different route through Barranco and so I am not really sure about my distance measurement.
While it was nice to get a bit of variation in my route this detour also gave me my first encounter with guard dogs. Turns out my accuracy slinging stones on the run is better than I expected.
Tomorrow is an off day and I'll take it a bit easy on Saturday before putting in the long run on Sunday.

Training Run
Distance: 9.2 kilometers (5.71 miles)
Time: 46.46 minutes
Surface: asphalt/concrete
Weather Conditions: cool, misty, overcast, 60s, morning run
Location: Miraflores, Lima, Peru
Comments: Felt very very stiff this morning. I got out on the road and put in a slightly different route to liven it up but then cut it down from my projected distance. Which had me hit my projected time pretty close so it worked out.
I am really feeling the miles now. My knees are tender and my legs are sore. I have the energy levels for the runs but I just feel like I am out of it a little. It's like I am out of synch with my rhythm or something.

Training Run
Distance: 6.2 kilometers (3.85 miles)
Time: 33.43 minutes
Surface: asphalt/concrete
Weather Conditions: cool, overcast, 60s, noon run
Location: Miraflores, Lima, Peru
Comments: I felt a bit sore after the longer than expected jaunt yesterday but not so bad I didn't want to go run. I was aiming for about half-an-hour and did another beach run to get the long hill in as well.
The effort was noticably more difficult and I felt a little bit lacking in 'omph.' But I never really had a spot where I felt like giving in.
The knee was noticably tender but, again, not actually hurting. So, again, I was very careful about it the whole way. I'll stick to level routes for the next few days as well.

Training Run
Distance: 11 kilometers (6.83 miles)
Time: 58.30 minutes
Surface: asphalt/concrete
Weather Conditions: cool, misty, overcast, 60s, morning run
Location: Miraflores, Lima, Peru
Comments: I didn't intend to put in a long run but it turned out that way. I got diverted pretty early on due to the Monday morning traffic and ended up on the beach. So I pushed it to the hill at Av. Ejercito and then back on the Malencon.
After about a week off I felt pretty sloppy out on the road. I made it a point to keep my pace a bit slower than normal throughout so the longer distance probably worked in my favor by giving me time to find my rhythm.
No aches and pains to speak of. My left knee felt somewhat achy over the last week so I was mindful of it throughout the run and nada. I did get a stitch pretty early on though, but I will chalk that up to being out of the swing of it.
